Note that I DID get Cairo to install,after doing a rmconfig (I apparently had sought to enable OpenGL support when installing it as a dependency of something else,and that option makes it crash). However,the general problem of missing shared objects persists in making various things not work (the upgrade of ICU broke a file that hald needed to run,so fvwm wouldn't even see the keyboard until I wrote a symlink as suggested on another online discussion of this problem). > > A little more information would help.

Trying a reinstall of libGL on a verified as up-to-date ports tree installs libGL-7.6.1_4 and libGLU-9.0.0. I've also noted that trying to update Seamonkey results in error messages about the absence of gtk20 and Seamonkey 2.23.2 (which does not exist) being vulnerable to various named bulletins that as a rule have been corrected in Seamonkey 2.24 (which DOES exist,except in the ports tree just yet).

Thanks again for writing. -=-=- The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again, at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
